Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. No substitution
The underlined phrase need not be changed.
- 'Truth' is the subject of the sentence, hence the usage of 'much' being an uncountable noun is correct.
- Mysterious death is the propositional object, hence the usage of 'about' is also correct.
- Similarly, 'of' is a proposition & 'her pet' is a propositional object.
- Clearly, all the words are accurately placed both contextually and grammatically.
Hence, no correction is required in the given sentence.
